Corporate Partners

Giving

FACT :

The College of Business’ Mediation and Society for the Advancement of Management teams finished first and second in their respective national competitions in 2014.

At Clayton State University, we believe that a responsive public university plays a key role in building and sustaining a vibrant community. The Clayton State University Corporate Partners Program is designed to develop, enhance and support partnerships between the business sector and Clayton State University. Internships, employee recruitment, networking opportunities, and a heightened corporate visibility are just a few of the ways to forge these partnerships.

Benefits

Preferred access to the Clayton State University community:

Choice placement at career services events and priority access to campus recruiting This is a great opportunity to connect with Clayton State students to meet hiring needs and internship recruitment plans in the development of our state’s future leaders.

Access to the president, college deans, and stellar faculty An annual group meeting with the president will be offered to Leadership Level members. A special topic discussion over breakfast with the provost and deans will take place in the fall, among other networking opportunities. These meetings will be interactive discussions surrounding programs and issues of interest to our community.

Enhanced visibility and brand awareness Corporate profiles and web presence are just two ways that your partnership with Clayton State University can leverage your brand with a broader audience. In addition, each corporate partner will be the subject of a yearly news release that will be sent to all local media and posted on the Clayton State Newsroom and on social media.

Loch Leaders Investment Fund
(Goal $25,000 or 50 donors of $500)

This fund will recognize high achievers – those full-time students with a GPA of 3.5 or greater who demonstrate unmet need. Priority will be given to continuing students, new freshmen, returning students, and transfer students.

Donors can become a part of this group by making a commitment of $500 a year for two years. A select group of students will be designated as Loch Leaders each year. These students will have the opportunity to meet with the donors to this fund at the annual scholarship luncheon held each spring.

Laker Completion Grants
(Goal $50,000 from many donors)

For so many of our students, they are the first in their family to attend college. Actually completing their coursework and receiving their degree is an incredible accomplishment and many times is postponed due to family situations, work demands, and, very often, financial challenges. The Laker Completion Grants will impact those students who are near degree completion and demonstrate unmet need. Priority will be given to those closest to completion with unmet need and a GPA of at least 2.5.
